LET US CONGRATULATE THE HEROES OF THE DAY – LVIV AND ITS CHOCOLATE!

On the first weekend of May the streets and squares of the ancient Lviv filled with sunshine, laughter, and joy, since May 5 and 6 the city of Lion with much eclat celebrated its personal holiday – the 756th anniversary, having traditionally invited to such a landmark event one of its “old” friends turning 130 this year – Svitoch chocolate brand!Coming together the heroes – the city and its favorite chocolate – presented the locals and city guests with a real kaleidoscope of exciting and interesting events: street concerts and theatrical performances, contests and quizzes, film screenings, and numerous singing and dancing master classes. However, the event’s most fascinating attractions were the costume parade of the locals, street orchestras, actors of local theatres, and Svitoch “sweets” marching through Svobody Ave, the festive concert held in front of the Monument of Glory, and the real Svitoch chocolate kingdom situated at the central square of the Old City near the Opera House. It is here that masters of the Svitoch confectionary factory set a giant brightly coloured tent shaped as a Truffle candy, where confectionery wonders, chocolate masterpieces, and numerous cheerful contests and surprises admired all the guests. Together with Svitoch chocolatiers the guests of the Truffle made “auteur” desserts, created delicious self-made souvenirs, and took part in amusing contests and games – in a word, had a tremendous time and got new impressions and vivid emotions.The festival caught fancy of everyone – adults and children, locals and guests, Ukrainians and foreigners since one can hardly remain indifferent to the beautiful city of Lviv with its aristocratic charms and breathtaking aroma of Svitoch chocolate!
